A Horsey Type Grin

Have you ever seen a horsey grin They have a humongous amount of teeth Their dentist bill must be really atrocious They're almost beyond belief Holy crap when they get a toothache They feel it right down to their hoofs You can hear them scream way over in China They just about hit the roof Feel so sorry for these gentle creatures They're usually such amiable sorts Even when a 300 pound man rides their back They're usually really good sports I've named him “Toothy”, this friend of mine Tell him to brush those dentures good The cost of a plate of false teeth for horsies Is astronomical in all likelihood A lesson here for all you young people Do as your mother tells you Brush those teeth real good every day So your dentist trips will be few! © Jack Ellison 2012

Very humerous..just a wee bit of summin summin if you have the same number of syllables per line it's easier to begin to fall into meter, you need to learn to write in meter if you are to grow into other forms [and I KNOW you have talent!] Light & Love

You have a real knack for this kind of poetry. Kind of like Dr. Seuss, but not exactly. I enjoyed this.
